Lavage Vert

While I was still in school this past year I bought two "greenie" products from Presiden't Choice, even though they were more expensive: laundry detergent and toilet paper.

I wanted the tp ("TP for my bunghole! Bungholio!") because it was made of 100% recycled paper, and also the rolls are doubled up so less of those cardboard rolls used. One week The Husband bought regular cheapee and paper, and I was all: But it's not the recycled stuff! Then I looked closely at the label. 100% recycled. And cheaper. Hm.

So this week (now that I have tiiime lovely time on my hands) I examined all the different papers, and found the one that was recycled, double-rolled, and cheapest. It was NOT the Pres Choice brand.

Which made me suspicious about the laundry detergent, which has the following advantages: can use in cold water, phosphate free, perfume free, and concentrated (so less packaging.) This week I examined all the different concentrated brands, and found (1) they're all phosphate free; (2) I use any detergent in cold water, so I didn't look at that; (3) the cheapest one was also perfume free: Sunlight for sensitive skin.
